"We interviewed a number of qualified candidates, but did not find the right match," School Committee Chairwoman Abby Diggins said in a press release. "We are committed to finding a highly qualified candidate who is a good fit for our district."

The new superintendent will replace Judy Paolucci, who resigned last December to accept a school chief position in Leicester, Mass.

Ronald Barker will continue serving as interim superintendent through late summer, and the School Committee hopes to find an interim successor for the 2013-2014 school year, according to the press release.

Diggins said the hope is to find a permanent replacement by July 2014.
